Electricity

Yesterday the power was out for a few hours in the afternoon.  I ended up taking the kids to the mall for a snack so that they didn't have to sit in a dark and warm house.

I got caught in the rain when it started.  I was just outside of Nichada, and had to ride my bike in a down pour.  At one point, I heard a loud sound and looked up to see a transformer sparking about twenty feet away.  I immediately looked up at the power lines about five feet in front of me, but fortunately it did not fry me. 

Ironically, the power went out for about thirty minutes while I was typing this email.
